    摘要: The present disclosure relates to abrasive material delivery systems for liquid jet cutting systems. The abrasive material delivery systems can include a valve configured to adjust an inflow of abrasive material into the abrasive material delivery system from a source of abrasive material. The systems can include a chamber downstream of the valve and configured to receive the inflow of abrasive material from the valve. The systems can include a metering component configured to control an outflow of abrasive from the chamber to a cutting head of the liquid jet cutting system. In some embodiments, the systems include a sensor configured to monitor movement of a top surface of a portion of abrasive material within the chamber as the top surface moves through the chamber; and a processing device operably connected to the sensor and configured to determine an abrasive flow rate through the metering component based on a speed of the top surface as monitored by the sensor.

    摘要: The presently disclosed technology relates to networked control of machine tools. An example system can use messages as means for transmitting intention and status in a networked control system. Illustratively, requests for actions or requests for measurements and status are passed across the network as messages rather than discrete signals. This can greatly ease machine expansion—new functions may be implemented by adding new messages on the network and adding new distributed controls to handle the new function hardware.
